The STC-1000 is a very popular homebrewing temperature controller. This is a dual stage controller. That means it has the ability to control both a heating and cooling device. Great for a kegerator or a fermentation chamber/deep freeze. 110 volt version, reads in deg C. This offering is selling for $15.99 + free shipping.

The STC-1000 is a very popular homebrewing temperature controller. One caveat of the STC-1000 (for some) is that the vast majority (maybe all?) display in Celsius only. Yes you can do some firmware re-flashing and such things, but as far as off the shelf units, the vast majority read in Celsius. Some may point to this offering. It does indeed read in deg F, however, it appears to be the single stage version.

Enter the Inkbird ITC-1000… It’s 110 V, Dual Stage (can control both heating and cooling output), has an alarm to indicate sensor failure or high temperature and… it displays in Fahrenheit… finally! It’s also said to be more user friendly than the STC-1000. In addition to the ITC-1000, an ITC-2000 model is available. That adds the ability to set both high and low temperature alarms.

The STC-1000 was already a great controller, arguably the best value in temperature controllers. These improvements seem to make a great thing even better. I have this controller. Check out my First Looks Post.

2/25/15 10:36 PM Central: This is back down to $15.99. That’s the best historical Amazon price I could find. Shipping is free with Prime or a qualifying $35 order. Check the product page for up to the minute price and availability.

This is an update to a post we did yesterday on the ITC-1000 dual stage temperature controller. John found a similar model for a bit less that includes shipping. See the ITC-1000F link below and the note regarding shipping speed and other available sources.

After seeing my post on this yesterday, John pointed out that the ITC-1000F is available via eBay for $14.24… including shipping. Caveat: These ship directly from Asia. If you’re in a hurry you may be better off with one of the Amazon offerings below.
